The porgy season has officially closed for private boats, rental boats and off the shore but not for the party boats and charter boats. Both the charter and party boats are able to fish for porgies until Oct.11th with a bag limit of 40 fish per person. The Island Current which sails behind Jack's Bait and Tackle on City Island in The Bronx New York has a special RSA permit which allows him to fish for porgies until they stop biting so for those people who still want porgies come on down and jump on a party boat and fill up your freezers for the winter.
October will bring on some of the best fishing that the Western Long Island Sound has to offer. As the water temperature drops the blackfish, the bluefish and the striped bass will begin to feed. Oct. 1st is the official opening of blackfish season. We are fully stocked with all types of crabs and special hooks and Jack's blackfish jigs also plenty of fresh bunker and live eels. The best blackfish spots early in the season are Pea Island, Huckleberry Island, Davis Island, Hens and Chicken, Rye, Mamaroneck, and some deep spots behind Execution Lighthouse.
The stripers and the blues are still biting in the middle of the sound behind Execution Lighthouse. Best bait is Jack's fresh bunker, Jack's jumbo sand worms, Jack's fresh clams and of course for the blackfish Jack's live crabs.
The number of fishing days are limited in the next two months so make sure to get out every day you can. Also make sure to stop in and get your Grunden's warm and weather proof gear for the fall and winter season.

Fab Fall Fishing Report
As we approach the end of summer the fishing season will start to pick up at a very fast pace with water temperatures cooling down and the fish will beginning to feed as they begin to move through and out of the area.
On the porgy front the last day to keep porgies from shore, private or rental will be Sunday Sept. 26th. The porgy fishing has been unbelieveable with fish being caught from Pea Island, The Antena, Huckleberry Island, Execution Lighthouse, along the shore lines of Mamaroneck and Rye and the points, Sands Point, Matinicock and Prospect Point. Best bait is Jack's jumbo sand and bloodworms, fresh clams and squid and remembering chumming is a must! The best depth of water is between 15 and 25 feet.
On the bluefish front for the past few weeks they have been catching blues to 15 pounds from Stepping Stone Lighthouse to Throggs Neck Bridge to behind Execution Lighthouse in the middle of the channel. Best bait Jack's fresh bunker, mackeral and also your can troll with surgical tubes and umbrella rigs to catch these big blues. Depth of water anywhere between 25-50 feet.
On the striped bass front as the water temperature begins to drop the striped bass will come back alive feeding along the shorelines with Jack's jumbo sands and fresh bunker. There have been alot of schooly bass being caught with some keepers mixed in, the size of these fish will increase as the days and weeks go by.
On the blackfish front the season will open Oct. 1st. We will have a full stock of fiddlers, green and Asian crabs, blackfish hooks and rigs and available immediately Jack's special blackfish jig. This jig will increase your catch by 50%. Remember to ask for Jack's Jig when your come in.
Boat rentals will be available through November.
On a final note...THE BEST FISHING IS UPON US for the next 90 days. Fall fishing is full of fish and tons of fun!
Remember: You can buy your Grundens in the shop or online throughout the year to keep you toasty and dry.
See You Soon!
